The students of the academy were also very curious, especially a teenager named Zhong Hui.

He looks about the same age as Sun Quan, but his background is very deep and clever.

"Master, is it true that you said that this kind of food can feed many people?" Zhong Hui asked curiously.

Ye Hui smiled and said, "Of course it's true, as long as it can be grown, then everyone in the world won't have to worry about running out of food." ”

"But Master, when people are full and have nothing to do, won't it cause more contradictions?" Zhong Hui thinks about the angle of the problem, and is always so tricky.

Ye Hui couldn't refute these words for a while, he just wanted to contribute to the people of the world, as for what the final result would be, who could guess?

Farm work is still tiring, especially if there are no agricultural tool bonuses.

So Ye Hui was busy for a while, but he was too tired to do anything, and he didn't have the heart to do anything with Diao Chan at night, and he often fell asleep.

Fortunately, the emperor lived up to his wishes, and after the first batch of potatoes were planted, Ye Hui held a potato banquet.

This kind of food is indeed not picky, and in the Bowen Academy, whether it is a poor student or a child of a family, they are all shocked by it.

And when I heard that potatoes can be harvested all year round, almost unaffected by the weather, I was even more surprised.

Those who have a heart have seen its infinite potential and spread it.

The first prince to learn was Liu Bei, the so-called building near the water first got the moon, and now he is in urgent need of food, because it is too difficult to raise soldiers.

Xuzhou's projectile land, supplying 50,000 troops, is still a surplus force, and if it is exceeded, it has to go to other places to buy grain.

Liu Bei prides himself on benevolence and righteousness, and sets the tax very low, so he can only gain fame and no benefit.

"Master, please help us plant potatoes, for the people of the world, and for the last hope of the Han family." Now Kong Ming is in the Han room when he opens his mouth and closes his mouth, and I don't know if he has been brainwashed by Liu Bei, the once simple and naïve classmate Xiao Ming is gone forever.

Hey, it's really a married daughter, spilled water!

Liu Bei also told his suffering with a handful of snot and tears on the side, and said that no matter how much it cost, he hoped to get potatoes.

This thing was originally meant to be promoted, and Ye Hui didn't embarrass them too much, and only charged a small amount of "patent fees" to maintain the operation of the academy.

Now there are more than 200 students in Bowen Academy, and just eating every day is a big expense, and Ye Hui certainly has to take into account economic problems.

Not long after Liu Bei was grateful, Cao Cao came with someone.

Moreover, Cao Cao's ambition was even greater, and he actually wanted to buy out the patent of potatoes directly.

"Sir, with this thing, you will definitely be able to make the princes of the world bow down, please help me!" Cao Cao didn't hide his ambition at all, and he almost didn't say the words of the deposed emperor.

Ye Hui laughed and said, "Brother Meng De, have you forgotten what happened to Yuan Shu?" ”

"Don't dare, I just want to let there be no more war in the world, as for who will do it that day, it has nothing to do with me." Cao Cao's words are true and false, only he knows.

Of course, there is still a person beside him at this moment, who absolutely does not want to see Cao Cao become emperor.

Wang Zuozhicai, the head of the Eight Dragons of the Xun family, Xun Yu, Zi Wenruo, the most powerful supporter of the Han family.

This person had taken refuge in Yuan Shao in his early years, and later came to Cao Cao, and began to display his talents.

At the same time, he also recommended a large number of talents to Cao Cao, such as Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, Xun You, Chen Qun and so on.

It is no exaggeration to say that in the Cao Cao group, Xun Yu's status is transcendent, even if it is the Cao clan and Xiahou, they are not so valued by Cao Cao.

If Cao Cao is the emperor, then the second person in the world can only be Xun Yu!

However, God seems to have played a joke with Cao Cao, because Xun Yu is an unswerving Baohan party, and his attitude is very clear.

Others, even if they don't want to see Cao Cao claim the emperor, are all ambiguous, at least they won't oppose Cao Cao face to face.

But Xun Yu is different, he once promised that as long as Cao Cao does what Dong Zhuo does, he will leave on his own.

Historically, Xun Yu committed suicide by poisoning because Cao Cao changed his name to Duke Wei!

The soul of such a person is incomparably noble!

You can also say that he is stupid and loyal, and he still guards the useless Han family, but he can dare to confront the powerful and give up glory and wealth, which is what most people can't do.

I saw Xun Yu give a salute and said to Ye Hui: "Sir, this thing is amazing, it can make the people eat enough, and they don't have to worry about their livelihood, it is the important weapon of the country. ”

Xun Yu's words were very clever.

He first pointed out the special importance of potatoes, and then hinted that this thing, only in the hands of the most powerful people, can truly benefit the people.

There is nothing wrong with this attitude, but Xun Yu didn't even understand it himself, if the patent for potatoes fell into the hands of Cao Cao, the people who benefited him would only be the people under his command.

Potatoes will become Cao Cao's weapon to dominate the world, a trump card, so that he can move faster to become the emperor.

"Xun Lingjun, I admit that what you said makes a lot of sense, but how can you guarantee that after your army gets the potatoes, you won't sell them to others at a high price? If an ordinary potato is sold to the price of delicacies from the mountains and seas, then this thing will be useless. Ye Hui was sure that Cao Cao would definitely make the other princes covet it for his own interests.

When the time comes, Ye Hui will become a sinner.

Xun Yu, who was speechless by Ye Hui's words, could only sigh silently, how could he not have imagined Cao Cao's personality.

But if this thing can't be controlled by Cao Cao, it can only be reduced to a strategic material.

In the end, Cao Cao exchanged a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry for the potato planting method and some seeds.

What Ye Hui didn't expect was that less than half a month after Cao Cao returned, he ordered to gather troops and horses and prepare to attack Xuzhou!

"Sir, Cao Cao must have thought that the princes of the world and the people who mastered this thing were all enemies who prevented him from winning the Central Plains, so he couldn't wait to make a move." Diao Chan leaned on Ye Hui's chest, his face flushed, and the afterglow after the clouds and rain was still there.

Ye Hui slapped his head and said angrily: "Then wouldn't I be tantamount to harming Kong Ming?" ”

"Sir, Cao Cao is insidious and suspicious, even if there are no potatoes, he will find other reasons, I hope Kong Ming can find a way to deal with him, otherwise Xuzhou will never have peace."

"Now, what else can be done to stop him? Unless ......"
